Section Head - Engine Design role at Hero MotoCorp in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This is a full-time, on-site position at the company's R&D centre.

The listing was posted on 29 Oct 2026 on Hero MotoCorp's careers site, in the Quality function with a senior pay band (M3 to M5).

About Hero MotoCorp

Hero MotoCorp describes itself on its careers site as the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, a position it has held for 25 consecutive years, with about 130 million customers across 52 countries. Its global R&D hub, the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT), is in Jaipur, and that is where this role sits.

The role in plain terms

This is a senior leadership role for engine design robustness: you lead a team of design and QA engineers, build quality measurement criteria for engine-domain parts, drive DFMEA practice, and own the resolution of market and warranty issues tied to engine components. The role sits between design, quality and new-product teams, and its core output is preventing repeat failures in upcoming models.

What the employer asks for

These requirements are quoted or closely condensed from the employer's listing so the details are not distorted:

Minimum 18-20 years of experience in part development in the automobile industry.
Good hands-on experience of vehicle-level testing for failure diagnosis.
APQP, DFMEA (AIAG-VDA) and QC tools.
Engine system and sub-system expertise, including engine fundamentals and operating characteristics.
New product development, problem solving and defect analysis.
Drawing study and GD&T auditing.

Who this role suits

This suits a very senior engine-domain engineer who has spent two decades in automotive part development and now wants to lead robustness rather than design parts personally. The team-leadership and DFMEA-mandate focus means it fits someone who has already run design reviews and handled warranty investigations at scale; the stated 18-20 year bar is explicit, not flexible.

Practical notes

The listing names a senior internal pay band (M3 to M5) rather than a salary figure. Expect the discussion to centre on failure cases: how you traced a warranty issue back to a design cause and what changed in the next model as a result. Bringing two or three DFMEA examples you personally drove, with measurable outcomes, is the strongest preparation.
